2 Best Shopping in The Turquoise Coast, Turkey

Run by a helpful husband-and-wife team, this low-key little shop on the edge of Kaleiçi sells traditional, handmade Ottoman-style leather shoes and boots, as well as bags—all made here by the owner himself. In a city full of overpriced trinket shops, the items here are some of the most reasonably priced, beautiful, and unique souvenirs you could hope to find. Some shoes are made using only natural dyes, including pomegranate skins, which produce a deep crimson.

One of many small leather shops lined up in Adana’s lively old bazaar area, Temas Deri has been handcrafting attractive shoes, bags, wallets, and other accessories for 30 years. If you’re going to be staying in (or returning to) the area, they can do custom orders within a few days.
